文摘基于POM(Princeton Ocean Model)建立一个南海北部集合卡曼滤波的同化模式,主要用于卫星海表面温度的同化。模式的平均水平分辨率为5km,垂向分层为20层;侧边界条件嵌套到一个大范围的南海海洋模式,在同化方案上采用一个均方根集合卡曼滤波算法,避免观测的扰动;适当引入局地化算子,消除样本在空间上的虚假相关,同时增加集合样本的自由度。该同化试验同化了2008年夏季6月到7月的GHRSST(Global High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature),然后采用2008年夏季SCOPE(Northern South China Sea Coastal Oceanographic Process Ex-periment)航次的温、盐数据对同化结果进行评估。结果表明,相对于未同化模式模拟结果,同化模式温度的改善比较明显,表现在加强了南海北部的上升流,校正了海表温度的偏差,改善了温度的垂向分布。由于集合卡曼滤波是一种多变量调整的同化方法,同化SST不仅能改善表层与次表层的温度分布,而且对流场和盐度的调整也比较明显。
